@phoenix0509 - I have no experience or knowledge of polyneuropathy, sensorimotor axonal polyneuropathy or the other symptoms other that what I've found in different articles. I did a quick search and found something but not sure how helpful it is. Here's an excerpt from the article below.

"Diabetes, HIV infection and alcoholism can cause several patterns of neuropathy. They most commonly cause a distal, symmetric axonal sensorimotor neuropathy. The second most common presentation in these conditions is a small-fiber, painful neuropathy.Feb 15, 1998"

Thanks for posting that link John, I just learned a lot about SFN that I didn’t know! What I don’t get is why with all this available information hasn’t yet led to the discovery of a helpful drug. Helen

@johnbishop , John. Thanks for the research. Best, David
